Migration error, mysql, change column limit

Rails
1

Hmm, one of my migrations have stopped working on #down. It still works
on #up. (It’s also possible that I never tested it for #down before, and
it never worked, heh.)

I can’t figure out why not. Pretty simple.

class WidenRequestParams < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
change_column :requests, :params, :string, :limit => 2048
end

def self.down
change_column :requests, :params, :string, :limit => 1024
end
end

Up works fine. Down tells me:

Mysql::Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to
use near ‘limit1024 DEFAULT NULL’ at line 1: ALTER TABLE requests
CHANGE params params limit1024 DEFAULT NULL

Why is it messing up the SQL on ‘down’, but not ‘up’? Very weird.
Anyone have any ideas?

Nevermind, as usual my own stupid error.
